The Daily Dunk is a regular feature on The Hoops Manifesto where we search the many corners of the internet to find the best dunk videos to save you the time and trouble.  Consider it your one-stop shop for rim-rattling, death-defying, baby-crying, slam-jamming dunkerific fun.  Today's installment: Stephen Curry's 70-Foot Alley-Oop

Normally an amazing dunk is all about the actual dunker.  But in this case, it's all about the passer.  Last night Stephen Curry threw this amazing, 70-foot alley-oop pass to Dorell Wright.

The Miami Heat's "Big Three" have been the source of endless entertainment this year.  Unfortunately for their sake it hasn't been due to amazing, mind-blowing performances on the court.  No, rather it's been due to Chris Bosh, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade continuously getting themselves into situations - either with their mouths or their actions - where they get criticized and goofed on.  The best part is that they are seemingly oblivious to this until after the fact.  The latest victim of internet barbs is Chris Bosh, who does some unusual poses for Maxim as you'll see in this video.  As hoops writer Eric Freeman stated on Twitter, this is straight out of a Mr. Show skit.

Blake Griffin's assault on opponents and NBA rims continued unabated last night, as he showed off his ridiculous athleticism and power with this reverse alley-oop.
